Comments:
Wurrurrumi is the Kuninjku name for Snake Vine (Tinospora smilacina) and also the name of the song style on this recording. These songs are sung during the Kuninjku diplomacy called Mamurrng and also for circumcision. ceremonies called Walk. Side A contains old traditional songs and side B is mostly new compositions by songman Kevin Djimarr. The Wurrurrumi song style is associated with the duwa moiety, and particularly the Kurulk clan in the Mann River district, of which Djimarr and Djabbarali are members.
